voices, and their echoes

it’s always been the same voice
sitting in the back of my head
commanding the messages from my heart,
it’s always oh you know you…
         LOVE LOVE LOVE
    and I do,
a rational being i know these things
and i can force change like hurricanes can force evacuations:
 maybe i shouldve
maybe i just didnt
   there is no one to blame here, but;
        i think there’s a part of you that just kinda wants to
        spread yr dirty bloody fingers against my skins
        and love me because i bleed

you still see me
between the eraser marks against my skin
little bars i
    sink into you
   and you know me by the scars
ive left and you call me
   by name
